I also have a 2 hour activity which our year 8's did this week as part of National Science Week - not quite a murder mystery, as it was based on the Sky One series 'Lost' - but there might be some ideas there that you can adapt. Leave your email address if you're interested and i'' send you details.

teachers TV has a good video about collecting evidence at a crime scene.When we did something similiar we looked at fingerprints using talc, sellotape and old blusher brushes. fake urine tests and chromatography, hope this helps

Hi, If you are really stuck I have a project that takes about 4 to 5 hours. It is a murder mystery which involes chromatography (poison pen), urine tests, flame tests, microscopy, soil analysis etc. We use it with yr 9 after the sats. I have written a story that goes with it, you could adapt this for your school. Oh, and I have worksheets!
